Indoor Air Quality
How clean or polluted the air inside a building is.
What is it?
Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality inside homes, schools, and offices. It can be affected by dust, mold, pet dander, and chemicals from cleaning products. Poor IAQ can cause health problems like allergies or headaches. Fabric fresheners are one way people try to improve the smell of indoor air, but they don't remove all pollutants.
Why it matters
Good indoor air quality is important for health, especially since people spend a lot of time indoors. Understanding IAQ helps you make choices about ventilation, cleaning, and products you use.
